Cosmicleaf Records, Feb. 2019.
1. Nomadic Universality 09:32
2. At The Gates Of The Beloved 09:21
3. White Dwarfs 08:34
4. Low Sun Tribe 12:35
5. Muses Fly Above Capri 11:02
6. Cloud Break 09:48
7. Phobia 10:52
Project from Greece, delivering 7 downtempo tracks. All tracks have a 4/4 beat and are danceable material, ideal for the early morning or late afternoon.
A nice surprise overall! The sound is very well produced, nicely polished, and while most of it is on the chill progressive side, the highlight for me is Low Sun Tribe, it has a technoish and tribal vibe that gives a very hypnotic and entrancing result. The whole album is not very psychedelic so it should please the lovers of the relaxing and dreamy trance sound.
Recommended. Rating: 7/10.

Hi everyone, psynews.
I am creating this post to some information about purchase.
I have a lot of interest in starting my collection of physical CDs, but there is a problem ... today the current recorder sites only offer digital midia for purchase and download
So I approach you lunatic Freaks by PSYTRANCE to absorb information from collectors. Could you tell me trustworthy and quality sites for buying my favorite physical CDs and artists?

Reflections of memories and dreams, all those stories and good hopes... Close your eyes and recall some of those mystical moments that are left in the distant past ... Everything has changed, except the silent, still witness within us. Experience of change is only possible on the canvas of the stillness, as well as the light is only real on the canvas of the dark. The change itself, with all the fractal worlds of all possible, always changing forms, is like a tiny little invisible dot on the surface of the vast omnipresent land of stillness. When you realize this, you're free. There's nothing to fear, nothing to lose, nothing to get, and a lot to give. You're free to give. You give, you live.... Do you remember? This album is dedicated to those mystical moments when we're not looking from the mind, when we are what we really are, like if there's no time. If it takes time, it's the mind. If it takes no time, it's Nirvana...
Peace.

Artist: Phobium
Title: Oort Cloud
Label: Omnitropic
Date: September, 2013
1 - The Cloud At A Distance 2 - Drifting Past Comets (105 BPM) 3 - Crossing The Heliopause (145 BPM) 4 - Into The Interstellar Medium (99 BPM) 5 - Towards Proxima Centauri (101 BPM) 6 - Distant Sol
Gimme a minute, I'll get there.
I'm not smart enough to get into the details of what an Oort cloud is, but think space, chunks of icy matter, and comets. Got that? Then you are now floating untethered through the cold blackness of deep space. Slow drifting ambient somewhat reminiscent of Kitaro if he joined NASA. Phobium is Henning Ottesen from Norway and he presents the story of the first manned mission to travel through this massive cloud surrounding our solar system. The ambient sounds like what you would expect the soundtrack to the far reaches of space would sound like. Take an arpeggio, surround with pads, repeat. At 17 minutes it felt like it took forever to cross the Heliopause. My mind wandered.
What am I going to make for dinner? Is John Travolta really gay? How come cows don't tip over when they're on a steep hill? Can I just microwave 3 day old coffee or should I stop being a lazy f*ck and just brew another pot?
I poke fun, but he's got talent no question. Into the Interstellar medium is a vivid cross section of a slow motion tumble amongst the stars where you should be freaking out, but it's so calm and serene relaxation is the only response. Towards Proxima Centauri speeds things up as he rediscovers his software has a beat function. This is deep trance where time is rendered meaningless as I try to take it all in. This could be what the outcome would sound like if you locked Tangerine Dream and Vangelis and they spent all their time comparing dick sizes.
Distant Sol is an isolating drone that will help you appreciate just how vast space is. So vivid and simple it moves unbelievably slowly like an old lady in the left lane. So yeah slow as f*ck but deliciously ominous. The crew of the Event Horizon has been slaughtered and the freighter is left to drift into deep space for eternity. Alone, so alone.
Three tracks over 13 minutes of a very repetitive style is a lot to take. F*ck you Phobium for making me think about gay John Travolta drinking 3 day old coffee. But thank you Phobium for presenting that scary as hell last track.

Hello,
Started a new mix series called Divine Interventions. Each mix is dedicated to a God from various mythologies. First one is dedicated to Osiris. Also made a general thread for them.
Mixcloud link
Osiris was an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead. He was at times considered the oldest son of the earth god Geb, and the sky goddess Nut, as well as being brother and husband of Isis, with Horus being considered his posthumously begotten son. He was also associated with the epithet Khenti-Amentiu, which means "Foremost of the Westerners" a reference to his kingship in the land of the dead. As ruler of the dead, Osiris was also sometimes called "king of the living", since the Ancient Egyptians considered the blessed dead "the living ones". Osiris was considered the brother of Isis, Set, Nephthys, Horus the Elder and father of Horus the younger. Osiris is first attested in the middle of the Fifth dynasty of Egypt, although it is likely that he was worshipped much earlier; the term Khenti-Amentiu dates to at least the first dynasty, also as a pharaonic title.

Title: Dance The Spiral Never Ending
Label: Merkaba Music
Date: January, 2012
01 - Rises In The East (80 BPM) 02 - Whomp Shanti (85 BPM) 03 - Bone & Stone (70 BPM) 04 - The Sands Of Grime (90 BPM) 05 - Break Belief Bounce (feat. Alice Spacedoll) (100 BPM) 06 - Listen With Your Heart (70 BPM) 07 - Caravan Planet (100 BPM) 08 - Swaggered (104 BPM) 09 - Way Of The Tarot (95 BPM) 10 - The Velvet Squish (70 BPM) 11 - Dance The Spiral Never Ending (feat. Alice Spacedoll) (105 BPM)
"I'm all about that bass, bout that bass, no treble!"
Get it big guy. Smooches!
"Sure I could get up at dawn..."
"Go to a job I hate that does not inspire me creatively, for the rest of my life..."
"Or I could wake up at noon and learn how to play the sitar."
F*ck you Daisy you can have that little mouse d*ck motherf*cker.
Take Asian melodies, some oh so juicy bass, and throw in random glitchy electronic swagger and you've got this album. Originally released in 2012 it is now being offered freely by your favorite free music site. I think this guy loves him some weed based on sample usage and track titles. The album itself is a great mix of ethnic acoustic instruments and the ever present wobbly bass. But it's not just bloops and bleeps around a bass line. I mean that's in there, but there are melodies and intricate layers as well. Some of the coolest things I found in here were drum loops from songs you've heard on the radio. The track lengths are also kept fairly short (none reach 6 minutes) to keep the listener from burn out.
Pun intended.

Artist: E-Mantra
Title: Serenity Ep
Label: Melusine Records
Date: October, 2018
1. Serenity
2. Serenity II
3. Balada Haiducului
4. Shadows
Picture of a forest. Scary font for artist name. Dude...did you just make a darkpsy/forest ep?
Narrator Morgan Freeman: Although capable of many things a darkpsy album to this date has not been attempted.
Thank...you narrator Morgan Freeman. Nope this is a brief downtempo ep released by his own label even though everything screams forest music. Actually according to the blurb it was created in a remote cabin deep in the Romanian forest. Sure nothing scary about that sentence whatsoever. Serenity brings his tell tale drifting melodies over top of head nodding beats. Smooth. Part II picks up the pace, but was less introspective. Balada is a slow trudge with a melancholy presence but easily my favorite. Shadows as the name implies is the darkest track yet and I don't know how he completed it while in that Romanian forest. Hope he worked in the daytime. Playing this at night in the forest is some Evil Dead sh*t.
All in all nothing earth shattering, but good, consistent, E-mantra downtempo goodness.

Artist: Zen Baboon & (I think) Zen Racoon
Title: Collected
Label: Baboon Clinic
Release: November 8, 2018
Tracklist:-
1. Chaotic Shapes (Collected Mix)
2. Keep Positive (Remaster)
3. Love Road (Live Edit)
4. Chocolate Sushi (Summer Edit)
5. Fataca Estalaris (Interlude)
6. Baby Bombay (Remaster)
7. Agora (Live Edit)
8. Disjointed life (Boom Edit)
9. Summer Somewhere (Live Edit)
10. Best Days (Tribal Mix)
Fresh from the Baboon clinic comes a collection of tracks from previous comps that are yet to reach the dubby pages of Bandcamp.
The mixing with organic natural sounds means you have the soft chirrups of birds in your ears while thick dubbed beats surround and carry you away. The only track I've heard before was the original Love Road on the Hommega 20 year comp. With no other knowledge of their works I can say I really did enjoy the experience and will be playing parts of this album to wake up, to bed and for my next autumn walk.
In fact if I had to walk through an autumn park for the rest of my life this is probably the soundtrack I would want drifting into my ears. Some tracks are slow and sensual like Chaotic Shapes & Baby Bombay, while others have the full strength of psychedelic downtempo driving them forward like Disjointed Life and plenty of tracks give you both as you'll notice in Summer Somewhere. If darker ominous tracks are your thing then I'm sure you'll enjoy listening to Keep Positive will help rough your positive anti-brooding personality up in just the most enjoyable way. The Love Road (Live Edit) has some extra zips and zaps throughout it that make it different enough from the original and Chocolate Sushi somehow morphs into a track with elements of reggae riddim.
Whether its house influenced pulsing songs or silky layers designed to drift you away to calmer places the Baboon Clinic has you covered. All in all every track here is distinct and enjoyable it's hard to pick favourites as a lot of songs are quite apart form one another but the ones I mentioned are definitely up there.
Oh did I mention that it is 'Name Your Price'. We call that a bargain where I'm from.

hello everyone
just like last year, i've noticed that i've picked up much less downtempo music than uptempo this year. seeing that most of my favourite releases were recommended in last year's thread, i've decided to open a new one for 2015. i guess it will also be useful to others in preparation for the upcoming best of 2015 poll.
so what are your favourite downtempo/psychill/psydub albums/compilations from 2015?
i'll start off with:
Ott - Fairchildren (not quite as good as his previous albums, but it's still ott)
Illuminus - Sweep Dreams (psydub with half of hux flux. similar to globular but more consistent/not as daring)
Phobium - Khronikos (downtempo, one 50min long track)

PERFECT BLIND - Stratum [BMSS Records] has been released on 04/09/2017!
Genres: Downtempo / Chill Out / Experimental / Tribal Step
Get it here:
Digital 16bit on BMSS bandcamp Digital 24bit on BMSS bandcamp Bonus EP + album CD on Perfect Blind bandcamp
Stratum is Perfect Blinds most nuanced album to date. Ten soundscapes worthy of epic science fiction or futurist fantasy. Clearly destined for the slowly expanding alternative electronic section on BMSS, these intelligent ambient tunes steer clear of boundaries and limits. Prepare to go beyond the familiar.
Ethereal orchestral synths underscore his stirring cinematic interpretations. Deep, convincing beats and esoteric textures combine to create space like vistas. Even as the music gains speed it never loses its intensity or cinematic feel.
You may find yourself on the edge of Tribal step or at the border of slower Techno with this exploration into the aesthetics of mechanical sound. You will be drawn into the newly formed solar system of Stratum where you will undoubtedly ponder upon the relationship between ourselves and the stars.
Tracklist:
01. Stratum IX
02. Manifest Destiny
03. Ancient Machinery
04. Last Torch of a Dying Star
05. Burning Mass (feat. Jay Kay)
06. Foreseen Consequences
07. Escape Velocity
08. The Expanse (Spaced Out)
09. Abyssentient
10. The Long Silent
Playing time: 78:03

Artist: Solar Fields
Title: Ourdom
Label: Sidereal Records
Date: March, 2018
1. Burning View
2. Shifting Nature
3. Into The Sun
4. Forgiveness
5. Mountain King
6. Wave Cascade
7. Moving Lines
8. A Long Tailed Bird Whispered
9. Joshua's Shop
10. A Green Walk
11. Parallel Universe
12. The Daylight Carrier
13. Siren Song of Glass
Some artists are so deeply connected with a genre that they essential become the face (sound?) of that genre. There are many artist who make downtempo music, but say the name Solar Fields and you understand what you're going to get. Magnus Birgersson from Sweden has been doing this for quite some time and his albums are markers in the chronological history of downtempo music. Any artist would be happy with a genre defining album to their credit yet each new offering from Magnus seems to be that way.
His latest however doesn't leave me with the same awe that his previous albums had. That said, I find myself being carried away with his descriptive soundpicture layered with many details ranging from the gentle flutter of electronics to the powerful and majestic. The listing says there are 13 tracks, but I only hear one, deeply immersed in a flowing menagerie that consciously moves from uplifting to a introspective mindstate. Into the Sun is a distinctly positive and hopeful march into the many wonders this world possesses as Forgiveness almost impossibly slowly illustrates the freeing power of letting go.
As the tracks seamlessly meld into each other Mountain King is a lengthy almost 15 minute wonder that doesn't establish its identity until well past the 5 minute mark. A progressive rambler that takes flight gently and creates a floating atmosphere bookended by a delicate ambient intro and outro. Due to the length of it Wave Cascade feels like and ambient interlude before another more aggressive and less appealing Moving Lines kicks in. Joshua's Shop gets back to the positivity of previous tracks, while Parallel Universe could be the darkest track on the album. The Daylight Carrier is more aligned with the early tracks of the album and he closes with the beatless ambient of Siren Song.
Mastered by Robert Elster the music sounds fantastic further adding to the experience. As I've mentioned with previous Solar Fields albums I feel his strength is the downtempo arena and less when he employs the progressive stomping. His music just seems to breathe and stretch more with a slower bpm. This album could've easily been a disjointed collection of tracks in the hands of a less skilled electronic musician, but he manages to keep things connected by building bridges between tracks instead of walls. So I would say it's a great journey with a few minor flaws.

Sidereal (digipak)

It's been six years since the demiurgic duo of shamans, better known as Shamanizm Parallelii introduced their creative work on our label with Psychedelic Dreams album. In the meantime they released two more full-lenght albums with Neogoa and Ae Records (The World In A Drop Of Rain in 2014. and Tales From Colored Tepee in 2016.) and gained attention within psychill circles and community. Now in 2018. they're back with 11 freshly crafted tracks on their 6th studio album - Blue Lizard.
Music of Pavel and Arkadii is distinct, but yet very challenging to define with one word, especially on Blue Lizard where they improved their own game of pushing it into the unknown. Sometimes it's oozing with joyful psyrock riffs and late '60s nostalgia, sometimes it explores strange sounds and serves as a soundtrack to deep and immense space. But most of the time it's colorful and trippy downtempo music with a lot of heart and passion.
Available in all digital formats here: https://neogoarecords.bandcamp.com/album/blue-lizard
Tracklist:
01 - The Blue Lizard
02 - Coyote
03 - Vibrations Of Transformed Consciousness
04 - The Last Trip Of The Ashes Down The Ganges
05 - Apocalypse On Time
06 - In Search Of No Name Captain
07 - Trip Zone
08 - The Mechanical Side Of Time
09 - Dogs, Ghosts And Lots Of Curry
10 - Radio Asia
11 - The White Shaman

9. Nemrak
It's Saturday and I've only had one cup of coffee so what better way to chill than to listen to some, uh...chill. Argus is Branko Stojiljkovic from Serbia and for my money one of the best downtempo artists today. His style is drifting, melodic, and so welcoming. I haven't heard his album Architect of Time (my fault), but thoroughly enjoyed Deep Water and Beyond Sight. Right out of the gate with Long Gone he sets you up in your favorite lazy boy with ethereal vocals and a mellow groove. His style of slowly exploring the sonic space is delicious as the ear hunts for new sounds. His movement into and out of breaks is seamless and provides a stunning experience. The music vacillates between cold and warm, but always maintains a thoughtfulness or a melancholy tone. Tracks like Wind Song and Field of Dreams get into that mid-tempo style, but I don't believe that's where his strength is. It's when he stretches a track out, let's it take it's time and allows all the pieces to come together when he wields his greatest power in my opinion.
A very good album that was perfect for contemplation between cups of joe.

Perfect Blind (also Deimos) is Igor Čeranić from Croatia and if you do not know who he is stop feeling sorry for yourself and do your homework. This is a fantastic electronic musician that leans towards the darker more industrial side of psytrance. Didn't catch his latest Stratum album?
It's so f*cking good. Moody, atmospheric, industrial paradise. That said the guy is a wizard when it comes to electronic music having stretched his programming muscles with downtempo and goa trance music as well as the industrial stuff. With this release he takes a bunch of songs that had some strong personal meaning to him and puts his own spin on them. You know those moments right?
First kiss.
Ugh, we arrested Michael Jackson for less.
First date.
I'm not going to lie to you. This might come back to be a problem later.
And who could forget the first time you got arrested and the po po wouldn't take you to the bathroom.
Good times. So he made a cover album with more modern sounds and an industrial sound. As he himself said it can hardly be classified as Perfect Blind material, but he had a good time doing it so who the f*ck cares. Most of the songs I had never heard so in that respect it made me hit YouTube to see what he did. I have always been a fan of his work and his industrial downtempo version of Dej Mi was very appealing.
It's not something I can listen to very frequently, but I applaud him for doing something different that makes him happy. If I made a cover album with songs that were the soundtrack to my life you would think I was a pre-pubescent little girl.
Take...on...me!
